Hello,
after debian version from 9 to, also dovecot was upgraded. There was problems with right imap and imap-login connection settings. I adjusted process_limit, service count increased /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn from 128 to 1024 for imap
It's a system with 1000+ imap and 200+ pop3 connections. When imap connections are over 1000 problems begins.
Problem one:
